[odb-users] ODB 1.9.0.a1 available

[Boris Kolpackov]

Hi,

The first alpha version for the upcoming ODB 1.9.0 is now available. The 
NEWS file entries so far are:

  * Support for C++11. Some of the newly supported C++11 standard library
    components include:
      - std::unique_ptr as object pointer or value wrapper
      - odb::lazy_unique_ptr lazy counterpart
      - std::shared_ptr/weak_ptr as object pointer or value wrapper
      - odb::lazy_shared_ptr/lazy_weak_ptr lazy counterparts
      - support for array, forward_list, and unordered containers
      - connection factory can be passed to the database constructor as
        std::unique_ptr instead of std::auto_ptr

    The ODB compiler now recognizes the --std option. Valid values for this
    option are 'c++98' (default) and 'c++11'. In the runtime libraries the
    C++11 support is header-only which means that the same build of a runtime
    library can be used in both the C++98 and C++11 modes. On UNIX, the tests
    and examples can be compiled in the C++11 mode by passing the necessary
    options to turn the C++ compiler into this mode (e.g., -std=c++0x GCC
    option). On Windows, the tests and examples are always built in the C++11
    mode with VC++ 10 and later. The new 'c++11' example shows ODB support
    for some of the C++11 features.

  * Support for composite object ids. Now a composite value type can be used
    to declare an object id member. For more information, refer to Section
    7.2.1, "Composite Object Ids" in the ODB manual as well as the 'composite'
    example in the odb-examples package.

  * New schema format (--schema-format), 'separate', allows the generation
    of the schema creation code into a separate C++ source file (called
    'name-schema.cxx' by default). This value is primarily useful if you
    want to place the schema creation functionality into a separate program
    or library.

  * New namespace-level pragmas: table, pointer. The table pragma specifies
    the table prefix that is added to table names for all the persistent
    classes inside a namespace. The pointer pragma specifies the default
    pointer type to be used for persistent classes and views inside a
    namespace. For more information, refer to Section 12.5.1, "pointer" and
    Section 12.5.2, "table" in the ODB manual.

  * New exception, odb::session_required, is thrown when ODB detects that
    correctly loading a bidirectional object relationship requires a session
    but one is not used. For more information, refer to Section 6.2,
    "Bidirectional Relationships" in the ODB manual.

This pre-release is available from:
